Comment by Richard ∑wald on April 14, 2012 at 10:13pm: Yup, line that have no business even being tip=toed on this site, of all places.

Comment by Sarah Walton on April 14, 2012 at 10:12pm: Yeah, I like to think I have a pretty good sense of humor but I also have a pretty good sense of when things have crossed a line.

Comment by Richard ∑wald on April 14, 2012 at 10:08pm: I'm all for things like that said in jest. Plus, snarky comments in general are always fun. This guy isn't nearly as funny as he thinks he is, though. He's just an asshole.

This too...

Comment by Richard ∑wald on April 14, 2012 at 10:06pm: "So, I'm not really down with hanging out on a group where people make threats"

Well, it's very much against the rules (on a few levels) so you really don't have to be down with it.

"Can we please do something about this?"

Here.

Usually actioned within 12-24 hours.

Comment by Joseph P on April 14, 2012 at 10:05pm: So, I'm not really down with hanging out on a group where people make threats--excuse me, "promises"--like "when I take over you will be punished". Can we please do something about this?

Comment by Joseph P on April 14, 2012 at 10:02pm: I'm rapidly approaching that point myself, Greg.

Comment by Greg LeGore on April 14, 2012 at 9:57pm: I'm outta here, on this thread, until it can be reclaimed.

Comment by Joseph P on April 14, 2012 at 9:55pm: The most favorable interpretation I can make of Chris, at this point, is that he's playing a character. That's not even a very favorable one, though, since it's not a very entertaining character.

Comment by Greg LeGore on April 14, 2012 at 9:47pm: Chris:

"And exactly how do national agencies work?"

They can make terrible mistakes but generally don't waste their time with irrelevant activities along the lines suggested in your posts. They don't tend to interact with people who make statements, such as the ones you make, which seem so distant from reality...they already have too much to do. And please believe me when I say that I'm not an apologist for them.

Following up on Richard's post, Mr. Bean is a comedic character who appeared in numerous brief skits as well as one (or more) movies.
